Curly hair answers for the curliest of questions

How to conquer your curls daily

Styling curly hair presents unique challenges due to its texture and tendency to be dry and frizzy. Curly hair often requires more moisture to maintain its shape and prevent breakage, making it essential to use products that hydrate without weighing the hair down. Detangling can be difficult, as curls are prone to knots and tangles, which can lead to damage if not handled gently. Additionally, achieving consistent curl patterns and volume can be tricky, as curls may react unpredictably to humidity, heat, and different styling techniques.

Reliable product testing without bias

Reviewing and testing hair products involves a careful, methodical approach to understand how different formulations interact with your specific hair type. Start by introducing one new product at a time to accurately gauge its effects, and use it consistently over a period to see how it performs in various conditions, such as humidity or heat. 

We pay attention to immediate results, like texture and manageability, as well as long-term effects on the health of your hair. Remember that individual hair types can react differently, so personal experimentation is key.

Clearing misconceptions about curly hair

• Curly hair is always coarse: Not all curly hair is coarse; it can range from fine to thick, with varying textures.

• Curly hair doesn’t need to be washed often: While it's true that curly hair can be prone to dryness, it still needs regular washing to remove buildup and maintain scalp health.

• Brushing curly hair helps tame it: Brushing dry curly hair often leads to frizz and disrupts the curl pattern; detangling is best done on wet hair with a wide-tooth comb or fingers.

• Curly hair doesn't grow as fast: Curly hair grows at the same rate as straight hair, but its coiled nature can make it appear shorter.

• All curly hair is the same: Curly hair comes in many different types and patterns, each requiring its own specific care and styling methods.
